The Arrival
 

I got a phone call from the boat hauler last night. My V-20 was traveling through Wyoming on it's way west. It should arrive here in Northen CA this evening. The hauler says it needs a good going over. It may not be the "ready to splash" boat I was looking for but by god it's MINE!!!!

I'll update with pictures tonight.

Re: The Arrival
 

sound a little excited there bud, hope she is everything you were looking for. ;)

Re: The Arrival
 

Congrats, in advance ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

Not sure about what teh hauler said. That boat looked to be in excellent shape in all the pictures. You did Good Tuna on buying that V.
If you had a good hauler, he would be pulling over every few hundred miles and emailing you Pics. that you could forward to us. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :P

Re: The Arrival
 

Does this mean we should be expecting Pics. sometime tonight. ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

Yes sir. Pictures will be priority #2. Priority #1 is getting a cosmopolitan into the wife cuz she's still unhappy about this whole deal and now it'll be parked in the driveway.

Re: The Arrival
 

That may be a two cosmo night Tuna, trust me I have experience with these things :-/

And if she walks out to the boat and looks in and see's a little gift wrapped box sitting on the helm you might even get lucky ;)

Re: The Arrival
 

Willy, you are a genius. I car pooled with her this morning so now I just gotta sneak out of work in time to get her something.

I suppose an Avet LX 2 speed reel would be the wrong direction to go for a gift though...

Re: The Arrival
 

It's something I would do, so yes, definately the wrong direction ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

I'd buy her a smaller reel that way it won't hurt as bad when she hits you with it ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

Good point. Penn 50 wide is definitely out.

Re: The Arrival
 

good luck there tuna may you sunny days every trip out on the v ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

Hey, its not being delivered with a new Etec on it, is it? ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

Naw... no Etec but it does have a 15 hp Evinrude 4 stroke (used) and new kicker bracket waiting for it.

I hope the cosmos work or the cuddy is comfortable.

Re: The Arrival
 

Isit there yet. Passing the computer room now waiting.
Feel like handing out cigars. Cograds Brother. ;)

Re: The Arrival
 

I;d be trackin him down like dawg the bounty hunter....lol >:(

Re: The Arrival
 

Tuna, contact Franco, Maybe he can track your V from his Norad computer station. ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

I just figured if the bride was unhappy, may as well do it right, thats how I do it. ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

he making woopie tonight to make up for the boat!! And better perform the best he has ever!!

Re: The Arrival
 

Somebody send Tuna some little blue pills for tonight. He will need them. ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

Just before 6:00 on the left left coast. No sign of him yet. Janine is on the treadmill. I won't need to use it tonight because I'm pacing so much...

Re: The Arrival
 

It's hard to sleep knowing the wellcraft fairy is coming to see you. hope you enjoy it as much as my family has ours.

Re: The Arrival
 

any sign yet?

Re: The Arrival
 

Should have arrived by now. No Pics. :'(
Wifey must be tossing his clothes out the bedroom window. ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

Tuck it in boys. I called him a while ago and he won't be here until ~ 1:30 am east coast time. The camera is ready for whenever he arrives. I had a cosmo myself so I could sit still during dinner.

Re: The Arrival
 

Damm, the driver must have stopped and took the V out for a spin. ;) ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

He trusted his GPS for driving instructions. Apparently the most direct route is not the same as the shortest drive time. He's somewhere in the mountains that separate the coast from the central valley area of the state.

That can't be good for gas mileage.

Re: The Arrival
 

So you working in the morning or calling in sick and waiting for the V to show up ?

Re: The Arrival
 

This is a HELLUVA thread 8) ...I might have to stay up ;) ...get answers to...

1-will the trucker make it

2-will Tuna switch wifey to Mojitos

3-what'll Tuna GIFT wifey with??

4-will Tuna survive the night

5-will new V-20-Widow seek her revenge

6-CAN a grown man sleep in the cuddy of a "V"?

For answers to these and other exciting questions, STAY TUNED!! ;D ;D ;D ...

Re: The Arrival
 

AS THE V TURNS
We should have our own soap opera here.

Re: The Arrival
 

Wifey was gifted with a pair of silver and amethyst earings in a wrapped box next to her cosmo. They were well received. (I have often said that I am not smart enough to come up with the great ideas by I'm certainly smart enough to recognize 'em when they hit me over the head). Kudos to brother Willy for his sage assistance ;)

I'm not out of the doghouse but I won't be sleeping in the cuddy.

Reel, ya are tooooo funny.

Re: The Arrival
 

Sitting here waiting and dozing off. Head keeps hitting my monitor. Is it hear yet. ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

5 Am on the Right Coast Tuna. What did I miss ?? ???
You out washing and waxing the V. ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

It showed up and the wifey did 'im in :o ... nice try on the earrings, but not enough WOW Factor I guess ;) ;D ... Shoulda switched 'er to Mojitos sooner 8) ...

Re: The Arrival
 

Nah, he's good using the WillySan method. As long as the truck driver does his job Tuna will be a happy camper soon ;)

Re: The Arrival
 

well i guess Tuna passed out or got beaten up by his wife while waiting for the V. maybe she broke the camera? ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

Being the optimist that I am, I just figure he's out fishing ;D

Re: The Arrival
 

Slot...bet yer right!!...it's about 7 on Left Coast...sun just comin' up and he's pullin' away from the dock...only he better have that camera w/him ;) ...

Re: The Arrival
 

Stay Tuna'ed!
